Description Martin Prpič 2015-05-18 08:40:00 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's IEEE 802.11 dissector could enter an infinite loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This flaw is fixed in versions the following Wireshark versions: 1.12.5, 1.10.14.
